We want to start off in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania and at the East Donegal. Donegal Township. Okay, there's a little girl. I say little girl. This is, it's just horrible. But police in Pennsylvania are investigating after a baby was found buried in a backyard. Okay, okay. Months after a teen reportedly took an abortion inducing medication that was obtained over the Internet after she was told she was unable to have the procedure performed.
Woody Overton
I'm pretty sure she got some fake probably drywall pressing to appeal thought it was an abortion pill and she got it online. It didn't work.
Unknown
The police department investigated after an apparent fetus was discovered in the backyard of her home earlier this month. The remains were in an advanced state of decomposition and Coroner Dr. Stephen Diamante told Lancaster Online that the remains were in an advanced stage of decomposition. A police officer first spoke with a witness on March 6 and that witness reported that in April of 2024, the teen took an at home pregnancy test and had a positive result before her pregnancy was later confirmed by a doctor. They claimed the girl then went to an abortion clinic where she was told that she was too far along in her pregnancy and to get an abortion. So apparently in Pennsylvania, abortion is banned after 23 weeks and six days. So if you're what, 24 weeks pregnant, you can't have one. And many providers do not offer access to an abortion earlier on. So this little girl and her mama went online and got her an abortion inducing medication. The girl's friend then told the police that she took the medication on May 9 and a day later the pregnant girl texted that same friend and said came out oh my God, calling it a full baby.
Woody Overton
Oh Lord.
Unknown
So in the documents like for the warrant, they refer to the Baby as a fetus and a baby.
Woody Overton
Right.
Unknown
But citing the search warrant, WGAL reported that the girl also texted an image of the fetus with the umbilical cord and placenta in what appears to.
Woody Overton
To take a fucking.
Unknown
I mean, with. In what appears to be a white trash bag. And then she kept it in a container under her bed for two to three weeks before burying it. So then the police executed a search warrant and then that's when they found that it had been buried. And. But not that this makes it any better, the coroner stated that it had been buried for several months, but that there was no way that that baby would have. The fetus would not have survived outside the womb because of the. Obviously she had taken the abortion pills and whatever else. Yeah, exactly.
Woody Overton
What. You know, the. I know she knows what she did was wrong or she wouldn't have buried.
Unknown
It in the backyard and put it underneath her bed.
Woody Overton
Exactly.
Unknown
But her mama helped her.
Woody Overton
I don't understand. Don't understand. I don't understand. And I'm not even gonna with that one. That's just bad. Bad, bad, bad.
Unknown
I got another bad one when it's my turn next.
Woody Overton
Bad. Well, I got a bad one for. It's your turn. So we had an author contact us this week and he wants to use me in one of his novels. He wants to use Woody Overton. And in real life, Real Crown, the podcast. He said he's a huge lifer and he wanted my permission. And he said he always. I think he's done like 16, 17 novels and he uses real people in his stories all the time. And he's a lifer and wants to use me. And I said, cool, Yeah, I think it's kind of an honor, right?
Unknown
It's a huge honor.
Woody Overton
So. But I'm going to tell you about another author and he's a best selling mystery author. All right, his name is Brendan dubois. Let me tell you about his. He's a New York Times best selling mystery author. Right?
Unknown
Okay.
Woody Overton
Famous. Famous. Famous. Famous as fuck, man. Writes good books and all that shit and people buy them up and you know, people still bought books and I used to buy the shit out of them. But the. I mean, he's an author of more than 25 novels, including Co written with the prolific, hugely popular author James Patterson.
Unknown
I've read some of his.
Woody Overton
So this dude's got it going on, right?
Unknown
Yeah.
Woody Overton
And well, he had it going on until he didn't. His ass is in a crack now. And so you know why? Because he got found with more than 5,600, 5,600 images that had been flagged as child abuse content. So he, I mean, naturally he gets arrested and he actually pled guilty to possessing sexual child abuse materials. And I don't agree with this. He was only sentenced to three and a half years in prison. But the. He had those 56 images on his computer that had been flagged as possible child abuse. According to Seacoast Online And Associated Press, 20 of those images were described in an affidavit which filed by the police in Exeter, New Hampshire. And they said, I estimate the age of the above mentioned children to be between infancy and 12 years old. That's according to Detective Bailey Texiera. They wrote that in the affidavit. So the detective also looked into boss online search history where he found articles about people arrested on child porn charges, as well as searches including how to tell if Google has reported me to the police and I accidentally saved child porn to my main Google Drive.
Unknown
Oh, that's a good cover up, right?
Woody Overton
He's. He's trying to.
Unknown
I'm surprised.
Woody Overton
This dude's got millions of dollars, man, and he's old as fuck. Look how old this dude is.
Unknown
I'm surprised.
Woody Overton
But you, I mean, I know it's 99% mental. If that dude can get hard on, it's got to be ED medicine. But anyway, so he had all that shit on his computer and he was arrested an extra last summer and has been in jail ever since. According to the ap, on Thursday he appeared in court where prosecutors agreed to drop two of the six possession counts against him as part of the plea agreement. So he is. I already told you about all the books and shit he wrote. But now he's got a register as a sex offender and one of the publishing houses he worked with, Severn River Publishers, announced it would be taken his books off their website. Good for them. And Dubois, you're a piece of shit.
Unknown
Well, yeah, but just. I mean, stupid question, but what authors do when they're writing about horrible things like that and they are doing research. I mean, he didn't say that that's what he was doing. But how do you do that?
Woody Overton
I have no idea where your brain is sometimes with that question. The. I mean, he's like a murder mystery novelist, not a child rapist novelist.
Unknown
Well, murder, okay, I'm just.
Woody Overton
He got found with 5,600 images of him.
Unknown
I'm saying child porn, not speaking of him. I'm just saying that's where my brain went is there are authors that Write about abuse like this. There are authors that tell fictitious stories. How do they do their research and get away?
Woody Overton
I have no idea. But I'm sure they could prove it was actually research because they published the novels about it or whatever. Yeah, and this is the same thing I have in my novel. This dude is a pedophile. And he was smart enough. He thought he was smart enough to try to cover his tracks.
Unknown
No, I understand.
Woody Overton
And he wasn't. He go himself. Pedophile, pedophile, Pedophile, Pedophile. Suck. Now give us your next one.
Unknown
So we're going to Indiana where a mom decided to leave her kids home alone.
Woody Overton
Yeah, we did one of these yesterday.
Unknown
Yeah, she went to the.
Woody Overton
Well, she went to. The mom went to the beauty store and the husband killed the kid.
Unknown
Yeah, this is in Muncie, Indiana. And she left two small children, ages 1 and 1 week at home to go drink at a bar.
Woody Overton
Nice.
Unknown
Police later found out one and one week.
Woody Overton
Holy.
Unknown
Police later found them covered in feces and the younger one showing the one week old showing signs of malnutrition.
Woody Overton
Yes, the mama can get a drink home, but she can't put a titty in the mouth of a one year old.
Unknown
Police found Sandra Henriquez, 32 years old.
Woody Overton
I mean a one month old. Sorry.
Unknown
In the early morning of Wednesday, March 12th, after officers responded to a report of a vehicle that had struck a pole. Officers asked her if she had any children. They noticed that she had slurred speech. They asked her if she had any children after noticing there was a car seat in the vehicle and she did not respond. Following the collision, she was taken to the hospital and then to jail. She initially told authorities that she had no dependents, but later admitted that she did have children and was unwilling to share her home address. One officer said that the mom had multiple opportunities to inform officers and other staff about her children being home alone and was even asked about children and then refused to provide information. So while she was in custody, the police actually got a call from a neighbor of her residence around 2:30pm the whole next day on March 12 for a separate call reporting that two babies were crying inside the home. And when they got into the home, of course they had to break into the home. They said that there was a newborn and a toddler locked in the home. And they found the one year old and the one week old covered in feces. And the affidavit states that of course they were covered in urine as well and described as urgently cyanotic. And I Read about that and that's some type of heart problem and where you get blue lips and like your oxygen is not getting through your body correctly. And so reportedly weighing less than what they weighed when they were born a few days earlier. The newborn was blue in the hands, feet and around the mouth and seemingly due to malnutrition and was rushed to the hospital along with the older child. The baby was admitted to the hospital with a feeding tube while the one year old was reported to be in good health aside from a very full diaper. She told police that she left her home just after midnight on March 12th with the intent to go to the liquor store, but ended up going to local Muncie bar called Big Shots Pub instead. She also told detectives that she drank an entire six pack of beer before she left.
Getting a drink on and based on.
The mom's admissions, authorities believed that her kids spent 14 hours alone at the residence and they saw multiple open cans of alcohol and a dog caged without food or water. As of Thursday, March 13, Henriquez was being held in jail in a $42,500 bond and now faces multiple neglect related charges.
Woody Overton
Hope those babies go to a great home and thank God they won't be able to remember it. Yeah, but you one week from having a baby and you were worried about going to the bar room and you're slamming a six pack before you go.
Unknown
She's also 32 years old. I mean, you know what I mean? She's not a 15 year old, right?
Woody Overton
Yeah, well, I mean it's fucked up.
Unknown
I mean there's 15 year olds that are better moms than that.
Woody Overton
Any way you slice that one, that's a bad one. But thank God the babies are alive and they got to them in time and they won't remember it, you know.
Unknown
Yeah.
Woody Overton
So let's go to.

Dream of better Wisconsin where we're going in a couple weeks anyway, y'all. We're just going to take the show on the road. We Got to do in Wisconsin probably for a couple weeks. So we will be recording and doing everything because we can. Right?
Unknown
Yeah.
Woody Overton
Pack it all up and roll with it. But so we're going to Wisconsin and that they got a dude. He was living with his girlfriend until she wasn't living. Then he lived with her some more 20 days. He lived with her decomposing body. Guess what he did then?
Unknown
What?
Woody Overton
He went to the cops and told himself, oh, yep. And then they charged him with reckless homicide. So his name is Serkan Accolade, who's 22 years old and he just walks into the Milwaukee police station on February 27th and he says hey, over a month ago on January 24th, I found salon Tut dead on. On our apartment floor after our return home from buying cleaning supplies. Right. Like Miss Dookie and them still in the cleaning supplies that they. So then this way he told the cops say he said he was gone for about an hour and he came back and he found Tut lying on the floor covered in blood. And he says he thought his girlfriend was joking and tried to pick her up. Sound like Brooks clearly in. In Haley's case. So accolade, or however you say his name, he's a Turkish national. And he. He goes on to tell police to say, hey, I didn't report her murder because I'm unfamiliar with the laws of this country. Murders bad in any country, Idiot. Well, the cops, I mean I've had a lot of great walk. In case I say great, I shouldn't say great. I had a lot of balls to the walls. Criminal cases. But people that just walked in. Christina Constance and a whole lot more that just walked in and said we did this or this is going on. So what officers do when he does this, they go to the Vim Vigor Loss, which is apartment complex where he lived. The couple lived together and they enter and they found Tuts decomposing body on the floor with the pillow placed under her head.
Unknown
How sweet, right?
Woody Overton
They said the body appeared to have been staged. And guess What? Tut had 12 stab wounds to her neck, abdomen, back and right arm. And her decomposing body had a strong odor as well. Imagine that. So officer search department and found no signs of forced entry. Remember, he's saying somebody else murdered him. So investigators use the blood detection chemical. Everybody knows what that is. And we spray the shit and turn on the blue light. Right. And discovered evidence that an extensive amount of blood had been cleaned up. Living. You think you can't get rid of luminol even if you can't see it. It's still there. But they also found a pillowcase with apparent blood stains. And they found a box cutter inside the dishwasher and discarded take out food. And receipts dated from February 14th to the 21st, which indicated that the apartment was being occupied during this time.
Unknown
Gee.
Woody Overton
So then they get a search warrant for accolades Blue Ford Escape. And they found a receipt from a Pick and Save, a convenience store from January 24, which was the day that Tut is believed to have been killed. You know what the receipt was for from it? Now, come on, man. Yeah, I mean, nothing screams desperation like going to your local Pick and Save to buy cleaning supplies there. You're gonna be expensive. As you know, there's a Walmart and three miles in any direction nowadays. But he goes to the Pick and Save anybody's Clorox Bleach and wait for it. This is the first for me. Clorox bleach and Raid insect repellent. Oh, because he knew the bugs are gonna be eating her. Yeah. So the store surveillance video also showed him buying the bleach at the store. Now, Accolade claimed to have slept by Tut's body, but had only moved her to the spot where she was found a day or so earlier. So basically saying he slept in the bed with her and just moved to the floor. Yeah, he had then told the police that he tried to commit suicide after her death by shooting himself with a nail gun.
Unknown
Oh, okay.
Woody Overton
Idiot. Well, cops do what they do and they continue to question him. And he denied cleaning the apartment and clothing to get rid of the blood evidence after Tut's death. Okay, this has so many similarities to Haley's case. Yeah, it's just those two in the apartment. And how do you prove beyond a reasonable doubt? You know what? You have to have the balls enough to take it before the grand jury and say there's no other explanation.
Unknown
I mean, they are getting.
Woody Overton
So they file a complaint against him. And according to the complaint, Accolade admitted that he had been in communication with Tut's family in Turkey. And he pretended to be her to convince them that she was alive in good health. I'm assuming through text messages he admits so going so far as to send Touch Family a picture taken of her in December and telling them it was a picture of her going to a wedding that day to prove that she was okay.
Unknown
Oh, my.
Woody Overton
Yep. At some point, you fucking idiot, the gig is going to be up. Yeah, right. So they have a preliminary hearing from March 19, and he's not in her plea yet. So I guess he's gonna say not guilty. And that's all I have to say about that.
Unknown
Well, so he went in and told them that he did it, but he.
Woody Overton
Said, no, no, no, no, no. He said, she's dead. He said, I went to the store 20 days ago to get some cleaning supplies.
Unknown
Yeah.
Woody Overton
I came home and she was dead. And I found blood everywhere. He said, I thought she was joking. And then he. I mean, she had like 12 stab wounds. And then they. When they finally get to the apartment, they were able to use luminol and find out a large amount of blood had been cleaned up and out. He had been there the whole time because of food receipts and everything else. And he just said, oh, I didn't report it because I didn't know your loss.
Unknown
That's. That's the. What I wanted to say is he didn't report it because he didn't know the loss.
Woody Overton
That doesn't make sense. I'm pretty sure his ass going to prison.
Unknown
Yeah. Yeah. Horrible.
Woody Overton
Right?
Unknown
Okay, well, we're gonna do a little bit different.
Woody Overton
We're gonna do some shoot yourself with a nail gun to commit suicide.
Unknown
Well, how do you not know it's not a law to report a dead person?
Woody Overton
Right, Exactly. I mean, you. You know it enough to clean up and put raid on her, Keep the maggots off. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that doesn't work anyway. And. But I'm thinking about a nail gun. I mean.
Unknown
Where is he going to shoot himself with the nail gun?
Woody Overton
Yeah. I guess if you were serious, you'd shoot yourself in the temple or something.
Unknown
Yeah.
Woody Overton
And who knows?
Unknown
He probably did like his hand.
Woody Overton
Yeah, right. Idiot. I mean, why. Why didn't you use the same box cutter? Just slit your own throat.
Unknown
Exactly.
Woody Overton
Because he didn't want to die.
Unknown
No.
Woody Overton
All right, give us another one.
Unknown
But he was so sweet for sleeping.
Woody Overton
Next to her, putting her head on a pillow.
Unknown
Yeah.
Woody Overton
After he almost cut it off. Yeah.
Unknown
All right, we're going to Tokyo. I don't think I've ever gone to Tokyo.
Woody Overton
Well, I'm gonna give you a. It's time for worldwide crime.
Unknown
Police have arrested a suspect in the stabbing death of a YouTuber who was tracked down and attacked during her live stream in Tokyo. Kenichi Takana, who was 42 years old, was taken into police custody in connection with the stabbing death of a 22 year old named Ari Sato. This was reported on Wednesday, March 12, and Sato was reportedly walking by herself while she livestreamed in Shinjuku Ward. I know I'm saying that wrong. When the attack happened around 9:50am On Tuesday, March 11, the viewers of Sato's livestream heard her screaming for help. Before the connection went dark, at least two witnesses spoke with authorities, with one telling police the screaming lasted around 15 seconds. And another one said she saw a man wearing a black hat attacking the victim. Takano was arrested at the scene and he found Sato by using landmarks and buildings in the background to track her down during the live stream. And they authorities of course do not believe it was a random attack, obviously because he sought her down. But looking at the landmarks, police said that Sato and Takano became familiar with each other in 2021 and he is believed to have allowed her to borrow money from him around the beginning of 2022. And he said there was trouble. I had lent her more than 2 million yen which is equivalent to $13,500. But she did not return it. And he told investigators that the influencer had already spoken to police regarding the problem. And Takano reportedly traveled about 60 miles to Tokyo from Oyama. After Sato announced the live stream, police said that he had two knives in his possession at the time of his arrest and he stabbed her multiple times in the neck and chest. She was transported to the hospital where she was pronounced dead. And he told police that it was not his intention to kill her.
Woody Overton
Stupid.
Unknown
He sought her down, had two knives.
Woody Overton
And then they identified it from I mean the building in the background or whatever. Right.
Unknown
Crazy.
Woody Overton
Well, well, well. You know I've been telling y'all about the new governor Jeff Landry and the he's was our attorney general very pro death penalty and the ex governor John Bell Edwards then since Gerald Borlon her case here in Lips Parish Go listen to murder me now on reliable Crime the vice been executed and at the end of his term, John Bell Edwards end of his eight years he actually came out and admitted I've been it up the whole time because I don't believe in a death penalty.
Unknown
Right.
Woody Overton
And so Jeff Lander's like I'm gonna. I'm going to execute the law. Not execute. I'm going to follow through with the law. What the law is the law of the land and they've been sentenced and these people have been on death row forever and like another one here lives. I think it's the song second longest one on death row. It's 48, 49 years and his lover was on death row and has already died of old age for another kid they raped and murdered here and kidnapped and tortured here in Livingston Parish. But I was, and I hate to say excited, but I was excited about them dealing in and out and starting to do what they're supposed to do again. Well, this has made national headlines and rightfully so. And this, if this doesn't piss you off, nothing will.

In Baton Rouge, a judge has halted Tuesday's scheduled execution of a man who kidnapped, raped and murdered a New Orleans advertising executive. Do you know why they halted it? Because he's a Buddhist. And he. He is a Buddhist. And he needed time to press his claim that his death by asphyxia could be torturous and an impact his later rebirth.
Unknown
Oh, poor thing.
Woody Overton
So Judge Richard Chipmore, the 19th Judicial, that's in Baton Rouge, y'all, set a hearing for Tuesday at 9:30am Now, Jesse Hoffman told Moore and papers filed Monday morning that breathing in pure nitrogen would impact his ability to practice meditative breathing and cause him to panic instead. Anyway, let me continue. And these are quotes. When I have a panic attack, I cannot breathe. Hoffman. Right. In a federal court hearing two weeks ago, experts testify that inmates who don't breathe during nitrogen executions prolong their own suffering. So I've told you about the one in Alabama. They said it took approximately four minutes from the die. And the warden said us. Because he held his breath for over three minutes. Right, right. Anyway, whatever. So this dude says having a traumatic death can impact reincarnation.
Unknown
I mean, we've got to be concerned about that.
Woody Overton
I mean, because he. Y'all, it's death row. Angola is full of murderers and rapists. But he's kidnapped murderer and rapists. And I read some stuff on her, the victim, the. What he did to her. That's why I post on Facebook and it's just horrible.
Unknown
Yeah, they don't. But he's pooed on a family dollar store.
Woody Overton
You know, he didn't get to. She didn't get to have a non traumatic death so she could be reincarnated. But they said Mr. Hoffman sincerely believes that he must practice his Buddhist breathing exercises at the critical transition between life and death called the bardo. He believes that if he has a traumatic final moments, they can negatively impact the bardo, which can lead to a negative rebirth. Maybe that's what happened to him to begin with. Well, maybe the last time when they executed his ass in the 1800s, he didn't get to have. Whatever.
Unknown
Exactly.
Woody Overton
What about all of the Buddhists that die in car crashes and shit? They don't get to have time to do breathing exercises.

How does murdering someone affect your rebirth too? And being a Buddhist?
Woody Overton
So a federal judge said the nitrogen hypoxia method of execution relies on inmates taking an active part in their own executions. And she stopped the execution to let Hoffman claim that other methods would be more humane. But a panel of that. Actually that was Judge Dix.
Unknown
Wow.
Woody Overton
And she's. She's the same one who certified me as an expert witness in law enforcement matters in all federal courts.
Unknown
That's right.
Woody Overton
And that was we. That hearing took longer because prosecutors did not want me testified for the fence. And that hearing took longer than the whole trial or motion did. But anyway, I mean she's. She. She stopped it. So after she stopped it, the 5th U.S. circuit Court Appeals New Orleans overturned her ruling. Right. That's why we have the court systems. And no judge likes to be overturned, but, you know, whatever. So Hoffman was scheduled. Was scheduled to die Tuesday night for the 1996 killing of Mary Molly Elliott. She was abducted in yawns and taken to St Tammany parish where she was raped and then shot execution style and left in the wetlands along the Pearl River. So Myers told lawyers for the state to say why Hoffman should die Tuesday night and told executioners they could not kill Hoffman pending the results of the court hearing. Now it is still possible that the inmate will die scheduled, though his lawyers expressed hope that he would be given time to argue his case that a nitrogen hypoxia execution violates his religious rights under the constitutions. These fucking lawyers should be ashamed of themselves. I know they have a job to do but them the it said the method nitrogen gas and denies Jesse the opportunity to meditate meditatively breathe during his final moments. That's Cecilia Capel. The lawyer said our state law prohibits the government from interfering with the exercise of religious faith. And Judge Moore will decide the important questions of whether the state of Louisiana can take away someone's ability to practice their religion at such a critical moment as a transition between life and death.
Unknown
Let's do the firing squad or actually.
Woody Overton
Everybody shoot him and everybody on death.
Unknown
Row just became a Buddhist.
Exactly.
Woody Overton
Yeah.
Unknown
And set that precedent real quick.
Woody Overton
I I had higher hopes from state Louisiana but you know what? Jeff Lander is going to press it all the way up and the she did not get to have any kind of anything. See all Let me give you a little bit more details with this Buddhist did self proclaimed boots did. So it was the day before Thanksgiving and Molly Elliott was getting ready to go out on a date night with her husband.
Unknown
Okay.
Woody Overton
She's 28 years old, advertising executive. She left her office in the French Quarter in New Orleans and headed to her car. But instead of driving to dinner, a parking lot attended, kidnapped Elliot, raped her and dumped her nude body along the East Pearl river near the Mississippi state line. That's the last bridge we cross over.
Unknown
Yeah.
Woody Overton
When we go to Mississippi. So a duck hunter found her at 7:45am the next day on Thanksgiving. 1996. How long has it been? 96, 2006 16. Almost 30 years.
Unknown
Yeah.
Woody Overton
So the murder shocked Elliot's family and friends who described her as vivacious, warm, loving woman. Molly was a cherished person who missed out on motherhood, a promising and successful career and a life in the country on the property we bought together. That's what her husband Andy said. Hers was a life that was so full of hope and promise for a beautiful future. The loss of Molly is a scar we will forever carry and it will never hear heal. So the end, you know. So I'm gonna just give you a little bit more about Molly. So Molly, whose full name was Mary Margaret Murphy Elliot. She grew up in Phoenix and landed top position at Procedures Los Angeles advertising agency before she met her husband and they cop. The couple move just north of New Orleans to Covington, Louisiana in 1994. So two years before she was murdered as a baby, her mom told jurors that her daughter was this wonderful bald headed bundle of energy and laughter and joy. And when she grew up, she had fabulous little freckles on her face and the smile that would just absolutely break your heart. And when Molly walked into a room and smiled, the whole room just lights up. It's just the most amazing thing to see. Now Elliot's husband Andy, told jurors that his wife was a very intelligent person, a very warm person and a very trusting person. He said, I never knew anybody who was a better person. She was the kind of person that usually looked for the good in any person and would generally opt to trust someone rather than not to to trust them. He said that she was quick with a laugh and that the couple used to love playing jokes on each other. They cherished their sprawling country home surrounded by land and animals. She was a very loving person. I think that's why we're we had all the animals. It was just an outlet for us to have more things to love and be around us. So Anyway, the in 2013, her mom did the Facebook post said she was thinking about her girl, wishing my sweet daughter Molly was here to celebrate her 45th birthday. I miss her so much. And just real little bit more details on that day. She left the Peter A. Mayer Advertising Inc. Around 5pm and walked to the Sheraton Hotel garage where she parked a car. She was supposed to meet her husband at his office at 6pm so they could go to dinner together. Hoffman, the murderer, who was 18 years old, had worked at the garage for about two weeks and he kidnapped her at gunpoint, forced to withdraw about $200 from the ATM. And even if Hoffman had let her go at that point, prosecutor said it would have been the most horrific night of her life. The ATM videotape shows the terror on Ms. Elliott's face as she withdrew the money from her account and Hoffman can be seen standing next to his victim.
Unknown
Geez.
Woody Overton
Right after getting the cash, Hoffman forced Elliot to drive to a remote area of St. Timothy Parish as she begged him not to hurt her sighting. Prosecutor said this because Hoffman eventually confessed. Hoffman then raped Elliot and forced her to get out of the car walk down a dirt path in an area used as a dump. Her death march ultimately ended at a small makeshift dock at the end of this path where she was forced to kneel and shot in the head, execution style. They said Ms. Elliot likely survived for a few minutes after being shot, but she was left on the dock completely nude on a cold November evening to die and her husband had to identify her body on Thanksgiving Day. So listen to this Hoffman to add further insult injury, he said at the time that he didn't rape her because she offered herself to him and she was killed after his gun accidentally went off. Right. Well, the jury said fuck you, and they gave him the death sentence.
Unknown
And now he's a Buddhist.
Woody Overton
And I mean, yeah, you, Mr. Hoffman. I hope they give you whatever, you know. Yeah, the. That's why they have the death penalty. I want us to read. You know, everybody hears about. And they hear about it. Think about that woman. You're just getting off from work and dude comes up parking lot, attended kidnaps you. Makes you take 200 bucks out and then drives you to the north. Rapes you in the middle of the woods. Marches you naked in the cold down to the bayou bank. Makes you kneel, shoot you in the head.
Unknown
And then you don't immediately die. Suffer.
Woody Overton
And then, well, when you. When you realize the gig is up and you're on camera and. And they get you start to capacity. Minimizes his involvement. Oh, no. She wanted to have sex with me.
Unknown
Yeah.
Woody Overton
Oh, my God. Accidentally went off.
